Rob,i have talked to a few people in the business, and while all expressed concern about bonding to plastic, most sugested using epoxy bassed resin. i bought a thick epoxy (thixotropic) structural glue as it will adhere to the smc panels as well. i will also be using epoxy resin for the glass work for the same reasons and it is cheaper than smc approved polyester resin. since my garage is attached to my house i also didn't want the fumes from the polyester resin getting to my family.now if it will stop snowing i can get some work done.btw. your front bumper fits like a glove A+++++. i am thinking of covering the lower splitter that you made me with carbon fiber for that extra special look...lolal

I don't know about that Steve...that's a 3" pull out at the bottom. That would be contorting, making the bumper wider at the bottom than at the top.

What's new on your orange pumpkin? Is there a meet at Arlington this year?

I've been working on the suspension and brakes on my Blue Coupe. (nothing worthy of a build thread)The pumpkin may get a custom dash this summer. And there's always an Arlington Picnic so replace your clutch, we need to see this car in person!

I hear you on the contour being too much, what if you continued the top lip around the corner a bit ? I'll stop now and let you design it. It was just a thought.

Better, but maybe on a different style nose. My objective is zero body re-working for these flares. I'm dropping the cradle in the next couple of weeks to see what's up with the clutch. The last thing I remember happening was hearing a POP, clanking, and the peddle fell to the floor.

The old rockers that came with the car just didn't fit right with my widetrack concept, so I went ahead and started prototyping my own "Z" rockers for widetrack application. Here, shaping work in progress.

Only thing, the arrowhead still looks slightly worn? Around the edges and near the bottom... I've thought about using something like this or this to replace the emblem in that location. I think that a steel/brushed aluminum emblem would look amazing there. Even more so with the CF treatment.
